Protect This House?

The rumor mill has been busy surrounding the highly anticipated Friends of Coal Bowl between Marshall and West Virginia on September 10th. However, a certain rumor surrounding the use of the campus rec center was the topic of discussion around school today. Rumor has it that WVU have made plans to rent out the rec center the night of the game, which they can do since technically the city of Huntington is responsible for it. Mountaineer faithful will without a doubt drown the rec in gold and blue if given the opportunity to do so. If the rec is surrendered to WVU it will take gameday to another level. While this rumor could not be confirmed nor denied it is an issue that could make this rivalry just a little bit more personal than it already is between the state's two biggest college institutions.

Furyk's $10 Million Mistake

Jim Furyk overslept. The 2003 U.S Open champion was supposed to be on the tee at 7:30 A.M on Wednesday for the Pro-Am that preluded The Barclays that started Thursday. However, Furyk's cell phone alarm didn't go off and he missed his tee time by five minutes. Furyk arrived to Ridgewood Country Club without a belt, socks, and an untied pair of shoes on his feet only to be told he had been disqualified. Golf is a game of rules, one just has to look at this year's PGA Championship to know that, but this could be a rule that could cost Furyk a shot at the FedEx Championship and its $10 million grand prize. Golf is often known as the "Gentlemen's Game" and penalizing Furyk to this degree doesn't sound very gentlemanly does it?
